Sir, I am currently pursuing Btech CSE at VIT Vellore (category 4) for the last 1 month. I have now got an offer from ISI Kolkata for BSDS course. I love maths as well as coding. I understand from the syllabus of BSDS course that it has more emphasis on rigourous theoretical maths. I am from Kolkata, so an advantage for being at home. What is the job opportunity for newly introduced BSDS Course in comparison to BTech CSE from VIT Vellore.

Ans: If you are passionate about mathematics and data science theory, ISI Kolkata’s BSDS is a top-tier option with unmatched mathematical rigor, and the ISI brand is highly respected in analytics, finance, and research. However, since it’s a relatively new program, campus placements may take some time to match the scale of established B.Tech CSE programs. VIT Vellore has strong placement records, especially in software roles, but ISI can open niche opportunities in high-end analytics, research, and PhD pathways. Being from Kolkata also reduces living expenses, which is an added benefit.

My son is currently pursuing his B DES from Anant National University. What are the career prospects after BDES. Kindly let me know. is it better to go for PG in the chosen field or first gain work experience?
Ans: After getting his B.Des., your son can do many different jobs. A bachelor's degree in design allows him to work for design consulting firms, advertising agencies, product design firms, fashion houses, or even start his own design company.

His job goals and personal tastes will help him decide whether to get a PG degree or work experience. Getting a PG degree might help him if he wants to learn more about advanced ideas or become an expert in a certain design area. It allows him to learn more, improve what he does, and build a strong business network. In addition, an Online PG Degree route could give him more freedom by letting him keep working while he studies.

In contrast, getting work experience right after getting his B.Des. can also be helpful. It gives him real-life creative problems to solve, improves his problem-solving skills, and lets him build a collection of projects. In addition, working in the field gives you important experiences that you can only sometimes learn in a classroom, like how to deal with clients, design things, and handle projects.

In the end, tell your son to carefully consider all of his choices, considering his personal preferences and long-term job goals. He should always learn, change, and grow in the fast-paced field of design, whether he gets a PG degree first or gets work experience first.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
